[Docket No. CP94-208-000]
Questar Pipeline Co.; Application
February 7, 1994.
Take notice that on February 2, 1994, Questar Pipeline Company
(Questar), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 filed in
Docket No. CP94-208-000 an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act requesting authority to abandon natural-gas
transportation service provided to Natural Gas Pipeline Company of
America (NGPL) under Questar's Rate Schedule X-25 to Original Volume
No. 3 of its FERC Gas Tariff. By mutual agreement between Questar and
NGPL, the authorized services proposed to be abandoned by Questar will
be converted to Rate Schedule T-1 transportation service under First
Revised Volume No. 1 of Questar's FERC Gas Tariff, all as more fully
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.
Questar requests expedited consideration of its request so that
authority to abandon the Rate Schedule X-25 transportation service to
NGPL may be granted as quickly as possible to enable NGPL to take
advantage of the opportunities available to 18 CFR, part 284 shippers.
Questar represents that by letter dated December 17, 1993, NGPL, as a
party to Questar's restructuring proceeding in Docket No. RS92-9-000,
requested that its Rate Schedule X-25 transportation service be
converted to Rate Schedule T-1 transportation service. Questar states
that it does not propose to abandon any existing facilities in
conjunction with this filing.
Questar requests Commission waiver of the provisions reflected in
sections 3 and 5 of the General Terms and Conditions of First Revised
Volume No. 1 of its FERC Gas Tariff, so that the priority applicable to
the quantity of gas transported for NGPL under Rate Schedule X-25 may
be transferred to the equivalent transportation service that will be
provided under its blanket certificate and according to 18 CFR 285.222.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should, on or before February 22, 1994,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol
Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or protest in
accordance with the requirement of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
NGA (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but
will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a
party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by sections 7 and 15 of the NGA and the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held
without further notice before the Commission or its designee on this
application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds
that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are required
by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to
intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion
believes that formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Questar to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
